Have you ever wondered what kind of tree you are most like? For this year's Tree Day on October 9th, we'll be taking a close look at the personality of our native trees.

Did you know that the Oak is loving, the Scots Pine is helpful and the Yew is mysterious? Our theme this year 'What can we learn from trees?' or 'Cad is féidir linn a fhoghlaim faoi chrainn?' explores the unique characteristics of the trees that surround us.

You can even learn about the personality of 7 of our native trees on the back of Tetra Pak cartons of Avonmore School Milk. Click on the carton image below for more details.

We've also got 1,000 alder trees to give away to schools throughout Ireland. Simply email trees@treecouncil.ie with the name and address of your school - then go outside and get planting!
